The headband is one of the hottest prom trends for 2014. You’ve seen them on Downton Abbey but there are options to suit any style (and prom dress) from boho to vintage to rocker chic. Even better, you can wear these fabulous prom hair accessories with any hairstyle. Here’s one lovely way to incorporate a headband into your prom hairstyle plus 4 of our favorite headbands for prom 2014.

Sure, you can wear a headband on top of the prom hairstyle of your choice but an even better way to highlight the accessory is working it into the hairstyle. This stylin’ look combines sexy curls with a touch of retro for a brand new ‘do for 2014. The headband is worn across the forehead and then hair is wrapped around on one side. On the other side, those coveted Victoria’s Secret curls fall over one shoulder. This works with any prom dress neckline!

Headbands can also be worn with any prom updo. Some headbands are designed to be worn behind the hairline, like these metallic medallions seen on Kherington Payne, which sit perfectly behind blunt bangs. Other hair accessories are worn across the forehead or right at the hairline. Now check out our top headband picks!
